Q&A Workouts
Workout 1: Do you have to switch in the start section after a 1-minute run/row?
There are 10-meter lines marked, when you don't run all the way, you'll lose points. Make sure you finish the whole lane before you step on the rowing machine. The same "advice" for the athlete who is going to run. Start behind the 10-meter line, and not halfway ;)
Workout 1: Can one hand be put on the ground when both feet have crossed the line and must that hand also be over the line or is it only about the feet?
When all feet are over the line, you can do whatever you want with your hands. Add an extra burpee, if you like ;)
Workout 1: Do you always have to do 2 reps and switch? It says that 2 reps you go I go is mandatory. There is now a discussion about this that it will become a ren exchange WOD because of this. ;-)
The box jumps are really per 2. Your buddy can wait next to the box, not in the start section. So then you don't have to run every time and you can keep up the pace ;)

Workout 1: Can you also jump over the box, so without hitting the box?
The box jumps are really up and over, safety comes first.
Workout 1: Buddy Teams: Can the buddy take over the barbell without touching the ground? So take over from shoulder 2 shoulder?
With the BB movement, you can switch whenever you want in the start section. So you have to put the barbell down.
Workout 1 - Fantastic 4 Team:
In the first part, 4 athletes seem to be working at the same time. With the flow of the workout, it seems that 2 are working and 2 athletes are resting (start section). How should we see this?
Two athletes are working at the same time.
Notes Fantastic 4:
4 athletes at the time working on the run-bike/row, mandatory Male+Male pair and Female/Female pair.
2 athletes (Male+Female pair) are alternating on the box jump, while 2 athletes (Male+Female pair) are resting in the start section. When 2 athletes (Male+Female pair) are working on the SYNC BB movement, the other 2 athletes are resting in the start section. With the BB movement, you can switch whenever you want in the start section. Three athletes are working and one athlete is resting. The 2 athletes working on the SB need to be a male / female pair.
Workout 2: The burpees over the bar: do you both start on the same side of the bar?
Buddy team set up; the movement starts with 1 athlete on each side of the barbell, lateral to the barbell.
Fantastic 4 set up; the movement starts with 1 athlete on each side of the barbell - 2 barbells are in use,
taking a staggered position and lateral to the barbell.
Workout 2: If one team member is better at doing leg raises, can she/he do more or all 30 of them while the other member is hanging hold?
You can switch whenever you want.
Workout 2: Do we have to hold one barbell together for the deadlifts? How can we account for the height difference between the 2 team members?
You can't, that's the challenge ;)
Both athletes grab hold of the same barbell, the hands have to be outside of their own knees. You can cross your arms, and reverse the grip, it’s up to you.
For a rep to count ALL knees & hips have to be fully extended and the shoulders behind the bar, at the same time.
Workout 3 - Buddy Team: I first read that an athlete works and the other rests. A little further on I read that athlete 1 starts at minute 6 on the bike and athlete 2 starts with the sandbags.
You're totally right, we adjusted the description!
FOR LOAD: one athlete at the time is lifting, you can alternate the lifts, and the weight can only go up per attempt.
AMRAP: athlete 1 starts on the bike and athlete 2 starts with the Sandbag Over the Shoulder. You can switch whenever you want in the start section, and also during a “set” of a movement.
Workout 3A - Buddy Team Mix: Do you have 2 barbells and is the score combined or do you work with 1 barbell?
Mix Buddy teams will work with a female barbell.
Scoring: For part A: each athlete needs to have a completed complex for their score. The highest accomplished weight per person counts, the total combined weight is your score for part A.
Workout 3 - Buddy Team Mix: At the complex max kg, can we adjust the weight downwards for the woman if the man has performed a complex?
Because you use a ladies' barbell, you can decide who lifts when based on the weight (which can only go up). This is to avoid confusion for judges, athletes, and spectators. So, one athlete at the time is lifting, you can alternate the lifts, and the weight can only go up per attempt. Switch in the start section.
Workout 3A: Do we start the 5 min. for load with an empty barbell, or can you prepare the first load before the workout?
Before the workout starts you can load the barbell with the starting weight of your choice.
● The workout starts with the 2 athletes standing in the start section.
● When the clock starts one athlete will go to the barbell and perform the complex.
Workout 3 Buddy Team: Can one athlete do consecutive lifts? For example, one light at 40kg, then loads the bar again for another light at 50kg. Or do you have to switch athletes after each load?
One athlete at the time is lifting, you can alternate the lifts, and the weight can only go up per attempt. Switch in the start section
